When They Try To Destroy Your Life...



Eva Galperin @evacide Director of Cyber-security at the EFF commented on Twitter about a Gizmodo article "When a Stranger Decides to Destroy Your Life" saying "Protecting yourself against a stranger with an irrational, out-of-control hatred is one of the harder digital security problems."

This is a very true statement, and even more so when the person trying to destroy your life knows you, or is a government employee with access to private information about you. Commonly recommended cyber and information security techniques don't work so well when someone completely fabricates a story about you, makes false allegations to your employer, and files false reports with the police about you.

Still, every bit of security that you add to your life can make you a harder target. Never give up the fight.
